My beautiful daughter seems to be changing every day. I'm afraid if I blink I'll miss it!
I love her bedhead in the morning. When she first wakes up and her eyes are still droopy and she has sleep crusties in her eyes. Ah. So sweet.
I love the way she's exploring now! She's trying to pull up on everything!!
I love the moments she has with her Daddy. For the record, she never sleeps on my chest. This chick is so not a cuddler. She doesn't like to be rocked to sleep or held very much, but somehow last night while I was out of town Jaymes got some cuddles.
She was fascinated by the fish at the pet store. We've added the Shedd Aquarium to our itinerary for our vacation to Chicago. I hope it's a big hit!
I even love this guy. Even though he gets on my very last nerve all day!!

Aurora had her first big boo-boo this weekend. She was pulling up to stand on the wall and her hands slipped and she hit the wall hard with her face. I was sitting right next to her, but I wasn't quick enough.
Now, don't get me wrong. We're getting used to Aurora bumping her head and falling down. It seems to come with the territory of getting older and learning how to get around. But, this time she was just in the wrong place to be falling. I should have realized that it was dangerous. The wall that she was pulling up on is the wall that houses the big A/C vent, so when she fell into the wall she fell into the top of the vent where a poky screw lay in wait.
When I scooped her up, she had a screw shaped dent in her forehead. It was terrifying! I just kept imaging that she would have this horrible screw shaped scar for the rest of her life. I ruined her flawless face at only 7 months!!
In hysteria I called Jaymes home from work. I didn't know if we should take her to the ER or not. It was a Sunday and I couldn't call the Pediatrician for advice. But, by the time he made it home and we cleaned off her forehead, it was obvious that the wound was no where near ER worthy. There was only a pinprick sized open spot and otherwise it was just scratched. We watched her very closely for a few hours before she napped to make sure she hadn't hit her head too hard.
Now, she's been sporting an adorable tiny band aid on her forehead. I doubt she even needs it, but I don't want her boo-boo to get infected.

Overall, life is good.
Over the weekend we drove down to Grove to see Jaymes's Dad, Step mom and sister. They've just opened a franchise of CheeZies's Pizza. It was a quick visit and they were SO busy, but it was really fun!
The took us to this really yummy Mexican restaurant for dinner and I loved it so much that Jaymes and I went back the next day for lunch!
I had to drive back home to Joplin to take my Senior Major Assessment Test last night. It's one of the very last things I have to do before I am finished with my degree. The test was simple and quick so I was able to go and spend a little time with my family. My mother made meatloaf. My favorite!
It was so strange to be away from Aurora. I don't miss many of her bedtimes, so that was a little hard, but Jaymes did a great job. Actually, I think he kind of loved being at home by himself with Aurora. That never happens! Mostly, because I have no where to go!
So, life is good. I'm loving it!
